Upcycled Victorian Egg Collecting Wire Basket . I salvaged this hard-working wire basket and subsequently discovered it had been used - in another era - to collect eggs! It is of a sturdy construction, conceived as a spiral of wire around a conical frame. I painted it and added rope handles, then decided it would be a great storage basket for some of my crafting materials. I decorated it as shown with bunting and ribbons, then added a wooden base to stabilise it. It weighs around 650 grams before packing. Thanks for your interest!
